Future Plan ... after the course
Most of us have heard the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This saying has stood the test of time.People have been saying it for year; and for good reasons. If you work constantly, and don't allow yourself some occasional recreation, you will simply wear yourself out. Life isn't all about work, after all. You should have a steady balance of work and play; and that's where recreation come in.**********************************************************************************

practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the
